Kavanaugh Schoolmate Urges Georgetown Prep Grads to Break Silence on Sexual Assault, Party Culture

https://democracynow.org - As the FBI presses forward with a limited investigation into allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a group of alumni from his all-male high school Georgetown Prep are calling for graduates to come forward if they have information about sexual assaults committed by their former classmate. In 2015, Kavanaugh told an audience at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law that “What happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep.” But the petition implores graduates of the elite prep school, “Please do not remain silent, even if speaking out comes at some personal cost.” We speak with Bill Barbot, who was a freshman at Georgetown Prep when Brett Kavanaugh was a senior. Barbot co-authored a petition calling on fellow graduates to come forward if they have information about any sexual assaults possibly committed by the Supreme Court nominee.
